Reading /usr/doc/fortune-1.8/Notes and /usr/doc/fortune-1.8/README would imply that limericks should be limericks-o (and rot13'd). Then it will only be actually accessed if you use fortune -a or fortune -o. I'd be willing to maintain it, but haven't maintained a package before or even read the information about how to, so it would take me a little bit to release a new version. I too would be interested in knowing where the package came from. It doesn't seem to say anywhere (except that the Notes and README have NetBSD rcs tags). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
